If I'm reading that message right, the "hex string is too long" error 
message is the correct error message, so I don't see a need for changing 
anything. 617364696f69636a61736f3932336b3b is 32 chars and 
617364696f69636a61736f3932336b3b0a is 34 chars, and only the latter one 
gives that error message.

Perhaps you should consider feeding openssl keys of correct length only.
